Key Takeaways

  • Fixing failing teeth one by one can cost more in the long run than full mouth dental implants.
  • Dentures can often come with hidden costs like relines, repairs, and potential reduced quality of life.
  • Nuvia offers all-in-one pricing — no hidden fees, no surprise bills, and everything under one roof.
  • With Nuvia, you get permanent zirconia teeth in just 24 hours — no temporary sets, no waiting months.

If you’ve spent years patching up dental health problems — a crown here, a root canal there — you know how quickly the bills add up... and there’s a chance that none of it ever seems to fix the problem. Luckily, there is a one and done solution that will keep you from ever getting a root canal even again.

Full mouth dental implants are a one and done solution to failing and missing teeth. And the cherry on top is that with a provider who offers an all in one implants cost - you’ll only make a one time investment. No separate bills for every step of treatment. No hidden fees. You’ll know exactly what your investment will be.

So how much do dental implants cost including every part of treatment? And is it worth it?

In this guide, we’ll break down:

  • The real cost of temporary fixes over time
  • What’s included in an “all-in-one” dental implant solution
  • How Nuvia’s approach compares to traditional methods
  • What drives pricing (and what helps control it)
  • How financing and insurance factor in

We’ll also show you why Nuvia’s permanent teeth in 24 hours are different — and how this one-time investment can actually save you money, time, and years of frustration.

If you're looking for real answers and a clear path forward... you're in the right place.

Why Patchwork Dentistry Gets Expensive Fast

Unfortunately the cycle of getting one patchwork dental fix after the other is all too common. You likely know exactly how it goes: 

  •  First, it’s a crown.
  •  Then the crown fails, so it may be a root canal.
  •  If that tooth gets infected — likely, it’s an extraction.
  •  And eventually… you may be paying thousands for a single implant.

Each step feels like “just fixing one thing,” but together? It’s a never-ending cycle of appointments, procedures, and bills.

And the real cost isn’t just the bills you pay — it’s in your time, your energy, and your peace of mind. Each visit could mean time off work, another copay, another round of waiting and worrying.

What starts as a quick fix could end up costing you years of stress — and thousands more than you expected.

Here’s an example based on average treatment costs: A single cracked tooth can easily lead to a $1,200 root canal, a $1,500 crown, a $300 extraction, and finally a $4,500 implant (with anesthesia). That’s nearly $9,000 for just one tooth. Multiply that across several failing teeth, and it’s easy to see how “quick fixes” can turn into the most expensive path of all. (1)

Dentures, Relines, and Repairs vs. a Permanent Solution

Now let’s look at dentures. You may not think these are a “patchwork fix”. On the surface, dentures might even seem like the “cheap” permanent solution . But what most people don’t realize is how much ongoing maintenance they require. AND they definitely are not a permanent solution. Here’s why:

Relines: As your gums and bone change over time, dentures are likely to stop fitting and need to be reshaped every few years. This is likely to be an additional cost that wasn’t included when you first paid for your dentures.

Repairs and replacements: Breaks, cracks, or worn-down teeth often mean extra trips back to the dentist. They can also come with additional costs.

Adhesives and adjustments: Daily hassle and long-term expenses add up.

And the biggest hidden cost? So many patients talk about the hit on their quality of life that comes from dentures.

Dentures reduce chewing power, can make speaking clearly more difficult, and have been shown to actually speed up bone loss — changing the shape of your face over time.

A set of new teeth fixed in place with full mouth dental implants, on the other hand, are a permanent solution that doesn’t come with the same problems that dentures do. 

No adhesives, slipping, or constant repairs. Just strong, natural-looking zirconia teeth that protect bone structure and restore full function.

All In-One Dental Implants Cost at Nuvia

Although dental implants may seem like a more expensive option at first, they may actually end up saving you money in the long run because they are a permanent solution.

When it comes to investing in a long-term solution, you’ll want to make sure you won’t run into hidden fees, add-on costs, or un-clear pricing. An all in one pricing model like Nuvia uses makes it so you don’t have any costly surprises.  

Because everything happens under one roof at Nuvia — from CT scan and consultation, to surgery, to getting your final zirconia teeth — you avoid the patchwork costs, separate bills, and extra appointments that come with traditional methods or providers who outsource some of their expertise.

What’s Included in Your Investment (No Hidden Fees)

Your all-in-one dental implant cost at Nuvia includes everything from start to finish:

  1. CT scan & digital smile design
  1. Extractions of failing teeth (if needed) — done the same day as your surgery
  1. All-on-4® implant surgery done by an Oral and Maxillofacial surgeon (not a general dentist who just completed a weekend course)
  1. Permanent zirconia teeth designed and milled in-house (usually just across the hallway!)— delivered in 24 hours
  1. Anesthesia monitored by a board-certified nurse anesthetist

  2. Your 2-week and 4-month follow up visits to check in on how everything is healing.

Permanent Zirconia Teeth in 24 Hours — No Healing Teeth, No Waiting

With most traditional approaches to full mouth dental implants, patients can spend months in fragile plastic temporaries before getting their final set of teeth. Those temps can crack, stain, and require multiple repairs — all while you wait, eat soft foods, and worry about your smile holding up.

Nuvia takes a completely different approach. Using advanced digital planning and in-house milling, you receive your permanent zirconia teeth within 24 hours of surgery.

That means:

  • No risk of broken temporaries
  • No drawn-out waiting period
  • No endless adjustment visits
  • You go from surgery to a strong, natural-looking smile… in just one day.

Does Insurance Cover Part of the Cost?

Most dental insurance plans do not cover dental implants. Some may help with smaller parts of treatment — like extractions or imaging — but procedures like full mouth dental implants are almost always excluded. More on dental implant insurance here.

So what determines the overall cost? A few key factors:

  • The health of your bone and gums
  • Advanced techniques that may be required in complex cases

  • Geographical location can also play a role.

At Nuvia, all of this is clearly outlined during your planning process. Thanks to in-house labs, digital technology, and an all-in-one approach, you know exactly what your treatment will cost from the beginning— with no hidden fees or surprise add-ons.
